So says Simon Pegg, a consultant on the seventh installment of the sci-fi history saga and one of the very few actors who have appeared in “Star Trek” and “Star Wars” franchises.

Pegg has never been shy about his hatred of the “Star Wars” prequels — “The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” — that were filmed years after the original “Star Wars” trilogy and only ended up complicating matters.

The plot of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” remains as much of a mystery as Kylo Ren’s new style of lightsaber.

"I don't really have any respect for anyone who thinks those films are good. They’re not,” he told the News. “(They’re) a monumental misunderstanding of what the (original) three films are about,” he said. "It's an exercise in utter infanticide ... (like) George Lucas killing his kid."

Pegg's disdain for "The Phantom Menace" even became the fodder of jokes in his British television comedy series, "Spaced," that aired 15 years ago.

The plot of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” remains as much a mystery as how the Millennium Falcon can make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

Pegg, who plays the young Scotty in the “Star Trek” reboot films and is promoting his new rom-com, "Man Up," didn’t divulge much of what he brought to “The Force Awakens” as a consultant, but he wasn’t shy about gushing about his experience on the film's Abu Dabai.

"To knock out ideas with (director) J.J. (Abrams), and every single day, whether you were on the set of something you recognized or a set that was brand new, it just felt like 'Star Wars' in a way that I hadn't felt in 32 years," the British actor says, referring to time since the release of the 1983 installment, "Return of the Jedi." "It was genuinely magical.”
